Anyone completed a V8 swap into a V6 S197? If so see if you can help out a bit here.

I have a complete donor V8, and a roller shell V6 (with complete everything minus the engine, transmission and computer etc.). I swapped the V8 into the V6. The transmission and engine. I have exhaust, driveshaft and differential but haven't swapped them over. I also swapped over the computer (PCM). Plugged in all the harnesses and grounds and put everything back together. Looking good.

Now when my buddy was tightening the started positive to the solenoid, the copper connected sheared off. Any way, I filled up fluids again and attached a battery, and went to crank (holding the positive wire that sheared off to the what's left of the connector so it makes a connection). Turned it to on and all the lights on the dash light up and beeps happen, radio works etc. (this is the V6 dash cluster), but the screen reads: CHECK (insert the systems like charging system etc.). It also said Fuel level low and DTE ODO DATA ERROR and wouldn't start the car.
Tried to start it no crank no nothing. All lights go off and stuff like normal when you start, but no crank.

Thought maybe the PATS? Replaced the dash cluster with the one out of the V8, swapped over ignition cylinder and used the V8 key. Still no luck.
How do I go about doing this?

1) PCM might need to have the calibration table reloaded or, 2) you need to have the keys programmed to the PCM by the dealer or a locksmith.

The reason I mentioned the first item is because those codes are identical to the ones displayed when a tune is being uploaded into the PCM and if/when it fails to load properly.

Hmmm. what would've made it wipe itself?
Keys are off the donor car so I don't think that be an issue. Anyone know what the C110 Connector is for? Could it being unplugged cause a no start possibly?

I'm guessing the C110 connector needs to be plugged in..

Hmmm. Now I've been researching that connector and not a ton of info. The C110 plug on my 07 GT Engine harness (donor) is rectangular, whereas the one that's on the 05 Body harness is square. Would you know the pin outs on the two so I can just splice em in or are the completely separate?

Well now I'm trying to swap over the entire body harness off the donor to the v6, and hopefully that helps. At this point I might as well rebuild the donor ahah.

So update, did swap everything over and now it runs!\
